James Beal's BBQ Sauce

My mother in law made this sauce for my husband while he was growing up and it's one of his favorites. Yesterday we used it in a BBQ pork contest and everyone raved about the sauce, you've got to give it a try. This sauce has a nice kick to it. (I always double this recipe)

Ingredients
3/4 c Granulated Sugar
1/2 c Dark Brown Sugar, packed
2/3 c rich, Dark Beef Base, made from double strength bullion or consomme
1 quart Hot Water
2/3 c Mustard
1/3 c White Vinegar
1/3 c Liquid Smoke
2/3 Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/3 c Tomato Paste (10 2/3 oz)
3 TBSP Chili Powder
3 TBSP Dried Jalapeno Peppers

In a 3 quart saucepan, mix the sugars and beef base in the water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is dissolved.  Add the remaining ingredients and simmer uncovered over low heat for at least 2 hours. Pour over your favorite bbq meat.

Jack Daniel's BBQ Rib Sauce

            Last weekend I made two different kinds of sauce, this one worked best for the smoked  chicken, but I think Jack Daniels is best on ribs, shredded chicken/pork. The tangy taste is awesome. I have some leftover chicken in the fridge and tomorrow night I'm going to shred it and pour some of this goodness all over it and serve it on a whole wheat bun.

Ingredients

1 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

salt and pepper to taste

Combine ingredients in a saucepan and mix well. Simmer for 20 minutes then allow to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you make it a few days in advance the flavors will have more time to blend together. This sauce is thinner than maybe what you are use to, but the flavors are nice. A great sauce to put on ribs. 

Enjoy!

Memphis (sweet) Barbeque Sauce

I made this barbecue sauce today and it's a winner; sweet with a kick. It's super easy and it tasted great slathered on the smoked chicken my husband made. I forgot to take an 'after picture', and there were no leftovers...guess that's a good thing :)

Ingredients 

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 2 red chili seeded and chopped
• 500ml or 1 1/2 cups ketchup
• 3 tablespoons molasses
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons English mustard (ready mixed, not powdered)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Juice of a lemon
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Heat a saucepan, melt the butter and throw in the onions and chillies for about 3-4 mins until the onions turn translucent.
Then simply throw in the rest of the ingredients, simmer for about 10 minutes and you’re ready to go.
